IN POINT OF VIEW. 

with the dawn of 1892, aud the four-hvmdredth anniver- 
sary of the discovery of the greatest covmtry on earth, it is 
but fitting to paj^ a brief tribute to the grandest and most 
beautiful, richest, most fruitful and sublime portion of our 
continent — Colorado — the sanitarium of America. History 
cites no parallel to Colorado's growth, prosperity and achieve- 
ment, which is matchless in the annals of countries. 

Denver is certainly the "Queen City of the Plains," 
aud the West, and indisputably the most beautiful interior 
commercial city on the face of the earth. This magic 
metropolis was born in 1859, and to-day, at the age of thirty- 
three 5^ears, is the marvel of the intellectual and thinking 
world. Denver and Colorado are endowed with nature's 
choicest gifts, which have drawn to one common point the 
most enlightened and progressive minds and the very flower 
of humanity from every quarter of the globe, thus immedi- 
ately establishing a cosmopolitan city, the embodiment ot 
enterprise, energy, thrift, intellectual culture and advanced 
thought, thus making in a commercial and social sense the 
paragon city of the Nineteenth Century. No city in the 
w^orld can compare with Denver ,in the matter of complete 
rapid transit service; more churches and more, better and 
finer schools than any educational center of ten times 
its inhabitants. This statement is not in the least over- 
drawn. The finest theatres and most costly commercial 
and business blocks on the continent; the grandest resi- 
dences of marble, granite, stone, brick and terra-cotta, of 
any city of like size; the whole solidly backed by rapidly 
increasing manufacturing industries, incomparable mining 
and agricultural interests, which are supplemented by the 
constantly enlarging railroad, commercial and financial 
factors, which combine to make Denver the champion in 
forging to the front in growth of American cities. 

WSthin sight, or but a short distance away, are the limit- 
less fields of iron, coal and precious metals, the oil fields, 
the great quarries of marble, granite and sandstone that 
would furnish enough material to house ten habitable globes; 
the boundless grain and fruit districts; the peerless moun- 
tain resorts and indescribable scenery, all lie within sight

or of easy access to Denver. No guide-book can adequately 
give the reader even a comprehensive idea of the climatic, 
educational, social and business advantages of the "Gem 
City of the West." 

The compilation of the matter herein contained will 
aflFord the traveler, tourist, home-seeker, capitalist, investor 
and speculator with an easy source of valuable information. 

Situation of Denver. 

To the foreigner the situation of Denver can at best be 
little appreciated, as it is necessary to witness its grandeur 
to fully comprehend its collective and manifold charms and 
comparison with sites that are most extolled. Its pictur- 
esque and healthful location, its central and naturally 
commanding position for trade, the ideal focus for converg- 
ing and diverging railroad systems, makes it the very hub 
of inland commerce between the Mississippi and Missouri 
Valleys and the Pacific, the British Possessions and Mexico, 
for banking, insurance, investment, mining, manufacturing 
and social interests of this vast domain. Thus was the site 
of Denver fortuitously chosen, but it could not have been 
bettered if selected with studied design. With this delight- 
ful situation of the cit}^ with a metropolitan distinction, 
with nothing provincial in appearance, but everything 
modern in fashion of its architecture, streets, lights and 
transit; in the swarm of population, the commotion and 
bustle; in the equipages of the wealthy, it all vies with other 
great urban hives of humanity in the United States. 

Tlie Municipality. 

The municipality of Denver is organized after the same 
plan as that of all the leading cities of the United States. 
I^egislative functions are confided to a Common Council of 
two houses and the details of government are entrusted to a 
Mayor and Auditor, Treasurer, Engineer, Police Magistrate 
and the heads of Health, Fire, Police and Street Depart- 
ments. 

Finances. 

The finances of the City of Denver here, as well as else- 
where, are regarded one of the many indications of material

and substantial advancement, and exhibit, on the \trhole, 
honest and prudent management. The municipal property 
is worth to-day twenty-five times the bonded indebtedness. 
The tax rate is ten mills. 

Denver's Water Supply. 

There are two competing water companies in the city, the 
Denver and the Citizens, which provide all the water for 
private and public use except that obtained from artesian 
sources. The two companies have a combined capacity of 
50,000,000 gallons daily. 

Gas and Electricity. 

The Denver Gas Company, the only gas company in the 

city, was organized in 1869, and has since furnished ample 

facilities for public and private lighting. The plant has a 

capacity of 1,500,000 cubic feet daily. The price is $1.50 per 

'j thousand feet. 

j The Denver Consolidated and the Denver Klectric Illumin- 
ij ating constitute the electric lighting and power companies 
'I of the city. The plants are ample and of the most modern 
I s*^y^^' with capacity for years of the city's extension. The 
j entire city is lighted by electricity, and these companies 
'j furnish power for several electric railway lines. 
i 

Tlie Police Force. 

I Under the command of Chief John F. Farley, well known 
j in police circles throughout the United States, the Denver 
I Police Department is as efficient as any in the country. 
There are 150 patrolmen, and the city is equipped with all 
j; the requisites of a thorough telegraph system, including 
|{ patrol wagons, electric registry-, etc. 

The Fire Department. 

The fact that Denver never had a disastrous fire is due 
I principally to the efficiency oi its Fire Department, which 
comprises ten companies, 100 men, six steamers, three 
hook and ladder trucks, stand-pipe, chemical engine and 
ten hose wagons and an in.surance patrol. The total value 
of the department's property is $290,000.

Mining. 

Mining in the state being the most important factor in a 
financial point of view, will be first briefly treated, as from 
this source came the foundation of Denver. As Colorado 
has no complete statistical department or mining bureau, it 
is impossible to give exact figures as to the exact number of 
tons of smelting ore produced in the State, and the number 
of mines which produced, and the character of the ore and 




COLORADO • MlNlrtie • STOCK • EXCHANGE 



the average contents. From the best data obtainable up to 
date, there were 800,000 tons of smelting ore produced in the 
State during 1S91, requiring no foreign lead for smelting. 

The total yield of the mines of the State was 133,550,900, or 
13,700,000 over 1890. Had silver been figured on the same 
basis as 1890 — 11.042 per ounce — the increase would have

been $5,000,000, or figured at the actual coinage value of 
$1.2929 per ounce, the value of the precious and superior 
metals would have exceeded 140,000,000. 

It is estimated that 64,000 tons of lead were produced from 
the ores. With the experience of 1891, with free coinage 
almost at hand, the outlook for 1892 in the matter of abund- 
ance of money and a stable price for silver, the future is 
indeed very bright. Free coinage means the acme of Colo- 
rado's foundation of prosperity; there would not be one idle 
low-grade mine in the State, and the smelters now in oper- 
ation could not treat one-half the ore that would be produced , 
hence it would neces.sitate increased smelting facilities, 
railway rolling stock, and all other departments of manu- 
facture, merchandising, real estate, banking and commercial 
interests, which would cause a healthy State growth and 
stimulate national prosperity. (Without free coinage the 
State at large is injured and the city of Denver materially 
affected). That free coinage must viltimately come is best 
shown by the figures which give the production and con- 
sumption of gold and silver in the world. 

Total Yearly Production. 

The total production of Colorado's precious metal mines 

during the year 1891, is as follows: 

Gold, fine ounces 217,652 

Silver, fine ounces 23,102,360 

Tons of Lead 63,128 

Pounds of Copper 5,537.ooi 

These figures are taken from the smelter reports and 

branch mints of the United States. The total smelting 

output of the three Denver smelters for 1S91, is $24,140,987.44. 

Total for smelters of the State $45,139,283. 

Entire Production of tlie State. 

The total production of the precious metals in Colorado 
from the first discovery of gold up to the present time was, 
prior to 1870, $27,583,081, being only for gold, silver and 
copper, there being up to that time no lead product. From 
1870 to 1890 the total product for gold, silver, copper and lead 
was $336,583,783 which, with the total production for 1891 and 
previous to 1870, would amount to the handsome total of 
$381,723,066.

Real Estate. 

Followiug mining in Western enterprises and develop- 
lent, conies Real estate so closely that it is really hard to 
etermine ont of which of the two has been made the most 
loney. True, mining shows almost thirty-fonr millions of 
loney as a product, but the fortunes that have been made 
1 real estate in Colorado, and especiallj' in Denver, are 
Imost beyond belief. 

Denver is the only city in the West which has not over- 
eached itself; that is, unlike Kansas City, Omaha and 
t. Paul, it has not been "overboomed" by misrepresenta- 
on and fictitious capital. The year of 1891 has been glorious 
1 its results, and only can New York aud Chicago be placed 
1 any sense of comparison with Denver. During the 5'ear, 
eal estate and building transfers to the amount of over 
eventy millions have been made, and for the same period 
uilding operations to the extent of $18,000,000 have taken 
lace. One has to but glance at the mammoth business 
[locks built and now in course of construction to fully realize 
bid thoroughly comprehend the financial solidity of invest- 
tients in property. These monumental buildings indicate 
lat Denver is a city of templed wealth and lasting pros- 
prity. Every huge piece of carved granite placed one upon 
he other in the stupendous walls that rear their massive 
:des to heaven are each a sculptured song of thrift and safe 
ji vestment. Klectric rapid transit now spreads from the 
buter of the city like a cobweb in all directions of the 
orizon, enabling one to reach any of the many suburbs 
athin a verj^ few minutes, aud has caused what was but a 
krren plain a few short years ago, to blossom forth a 
^rdant and smiling landscape, dotted with the suburban 
pmes of fifty thousand people. 

Realty Movements. 

[Compared with a year ago, the real estate market at the 
•esent time is five-fold more promising and the outlook for 
p2 was never so flattering in the history of the city. Ovit- 
:le or suburban property has had the ascendency during 
e whole year on account of the change wrought by 
ectricity. 

The very shrewdest of the big dealers added all the acreage 
tainable to their list, and now there are subdivisions

platted as far out from Montclair and University Park as those 
suburbs were two years ago from Denver. This condition 
of affairs exists in all directions where electric lines now 
run or are contemplated or projected. In all the outskirts a 
vast amount of home-building has been in progress during 
the year, so that now the city's residence circumference has 
been increased fully one mile from its tire of a year ago. 
The boundary line of inside property worth $i,ooo per foot 
3ne year ago has been extended in all directions fully one- 
half mile, which is the best basis on which to estimate 
inside values. 

E)arly in the year investors who started out to loan money 
it 8 per cent, concluded to buy property on account of the 
steadily increasing rental values which would net more 
kvholesome returns, and thus was started a spirited race 
imong house hunters which increased the number of tax- 
laj^ers and generally excited a lively interest among the 
)ublic which added greatly to the prosperity of the city. 

Statistical. 

Denver's phenomenal real estate life began in 1886 when 
)utside loaning capital first came to the surface. In that 
•ear $2,500,000 of mortgage money was recorded. Kach 
ecurring year has augmented the amount of capital and 
owered the interest rate until 1891, when there is over 
21,000,000 to the year's credit. The building operations for 
he year amount to fully $18,000,000. The confidence of 
apital in Denver is best realized from the fact that it is 
onstantly increasing in volume while the interest rate is 
radually lowering, there being $28,000,000 recorded loaned 
11 Denver during 1891 below the eight per cent rate. 

The recorded transfers in realty for the various divisions 
f the city and surrounding districts and suburbs for 1891, 
liow over 17,000 conveyances amounting to $48,000,000, or a 
)tal of property transferred from 1880 to the present time 
mounting to $295,149,891.

advantages of Denver are unexcelled in the world. It is 
verily a city of magnificent churches, for it is true that no 
place of twice the population of Denver can boast of the 
number of costly and supremely grand temples erected for 
livine worship. The first religious organization in Denver 
was formed by eight Presbyterians in i860, under the 
luspices of the Board of Domestic Missions. For ten years 
ihe little band struggled with uncertain success, holding

i-st fine church edifice of the city was built by the congre- 
ation at the corner of Champa and Eighteenth streets at a 
■jHt of 150,000. The Methodists were next after the Prcsby- 
.•rian.s, and St. John's was the first Episcopal church in the 
,ty. The First Baptist church was started in a " dug-out " 
pposite where the Tabor Opera House now stands. In 1864

vere without a church for seventeen j^ears. Now they have 
■leven churches and fourteen Sabbath schools. In i860, the 
anie year the Congregationalists started in Denver, Bishop 
klachebouf and Father Raverly came here as missionaries, 
md found the foundations of a Catholic church which had 
)een abandoned on account of debt. They at once set to

md in time built St, Marj^'s Cathedral on Stout street, near 
^"ifteenth, which has the distinguished honor of being the 
Irst place of worship erected in Denver. The first English 
vUthern Church was established seven years ago by Rev, P. 
\., Heilman, The Central Christian Church was founded in 
873, and in 1872 a Unitarian society was formed. Temple 
Emanuel is the principal Hebrew denomination. There is 
L German Reformed Church and a congregation of Uni- 
ersalists and United Brethren. For complete church guide

COLLEGES. 

Westminster University. 

The Westminster University of Colorado was incorporated 
line 6, 1891, and within a short time the Board of Trustees 

1 ad secured by purchase and donations, over seven hundred 
icres of land, beautifully situated on Crown Point, the 
lighest spot in Arapahoe County. 

I The property is on the Boulder branch of the Union 
*acific Railway, seven miles north of the post office and 
hree hundred and fifty feet above the city. The continu- 
ation of the Highlands Boulevard runs through the addition, 
ividing it equally. 

j In September, the contract was let for the first building 
jrhich is to be completed in September, 1892, in time for the 
jpening of the University next fall, 

I It will be a magnificent edifice of Manitou red stone, 160 
jf/ 80 feet in size, basement and three stories in height, 
irmounted by a fine tower. The cost, including heating 
[ad electric light apparatus complete and artesian well, 
ill be $125,000. 

Nearly enough has been realized from sales of land to pay 
r the building which is located in the center of the forty 
:re campus, upon which other buildings will be erected as 
ey are required.

A uumber of handsome residences for the members of the 
faculty and others who intend to make homes in West- 
minster will be commenced in the near future. 

The view from the campus is unsurpassed; it includes the 

Snowy Mountain Range of two hundred niiles from I^ong's 

Peak on the north to Pike's Peak on the south, the foothills 

in the foreground, and the fertile and cultivated valleys of 

' Clear Creek, Boulder and the Platte, beyond which lies the 

j Queen City of the Plains. Over forty bodies of water includ- 

! ing lake and reservoirs are visible. The atmosphere is the 

purest possible, entirelj'' free from smelter smoke and 

noxious gases from the city. 

I The preliminary arrangements are under way for an 
electric line to run across the addition, connecting with a 
; cable road, giving rapid transportation to all sections of the 
I city. A water and electric light plant are also being pro- 
i jected. The artesian well will supply pure water ample for 
i a small city. 

( :^ight3^ acres have been set aside for a farm for the vise of 
students desiring to earn their living while attending the 
}, University. Twenty acres have been reserved for parks 
] which, with the campus, will furnish plenty of breathing 
|: room for the future. 

|l The Board of Trustees are planning to secure the highest 
! talent in the country for a facult}', and the policy of the 
University will be progressive and liberal. 
i The Cottage plan of providing for students will be adopted. 
I With all the advantages of choice location, rapid tran.s- 
I portation, pure air and water, magniiicent scenery, good 
I society, and freedom from the evils of city life, there is no 
Hquestion but that a fine suburban residence town will 
quickly result from this beginning. 

The University of Denver. 

The University of Denver was founded in 1862, as the 
Colorado Seminary, by PJx-Governor Evans and others. It 
is the most extensive educational institution in the great 
Middle West. Its buildings were formerly situated in the 
business portion of the city, but for many reasons a site 
better adapted to its use was selected, where several fine 
college buildings have been completed, with more to follow 
as rapidly as practicable. The people of Denver were quick 
to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the

Public Schools. 

There is nothing that Denver takes more distingriished 
ride in than its public schools, and well it may, for at least 
iree million visitors, among whom were many of the finest 
lucational experts in the country and throughout the 
orld, have pronounced them to be the handsomest struc- 
ires and most brilliant exponents of modern instruction 
nown to the present age. In an architectural point of 
iew no city in the world can compare its schools with 
enver. 

The first charter for a public school in Denver was granted 
V the Territorial I^egislature on February 13, 1874, although 
le foundation for the school was laid in 1862, aud not fin- 
ihed until early in the '70's. The building, which was 
rected on Arapahoe Street, cost |8o,ooo, and in 1890 the 
round was sold for business purposes for $165,000, There 
re three school districts, in the first of which is situated 
le East Denver High School, built at a cost of $750,000, and 
pfore which all others pale as satellites before a noonday 
jin. The building occupies one entire square bounded by 
:out, California, Nineteenth and Twentieth Streets, and 
is the acme of perfection in a building; and its interior is 
he of marvelous elegance, grace, comfort and convenience, 
esides the school -rooms, it contains rooms for all the school 
ficials of the district, a public library and museum, read- 
|(g-room, and the finest hall in the city, capable of seating 
|o persons. The third and fourth floors accommodate the 
ost complete laboratories and an observatory. The total 
'ilue of common school property (buildings and grounds) 
I the city of Denver is $2,405,000. There are 17,500 pupils 
iirolled, 207 class-rooms, and 250 teachers. There are 684 
ipils attending the High Schools, taught by thirty-eight 
achers. The assessed value of entire school property is 
1,675,820, which gives each pupil an average ratio of 
sessed value of $3,724.85. There are 7,000 volumes in the 
lool libraries. (See index for .schools.)

Banking and Financial. 

j without one exception Denver stands pre-eminent and 
liloue with the cleanest financial record of any citj' in the 
:'nited States, as is indicated by that indisputable source of 
knowledge, the Clearing House. There are twenty-two 
[)anks in the city, eleven of which are national and repre- 
sented in the Clearing House statistics, the others being 
Private institvitions. The bank clearances for the j^ear 
(mount to $229,033,002.13, and with a reasonable estimate 
Vom the thirteen private banks these figvires could justly be 
Increased to fullj- $400,000,000 of business. This is a grand 
Ihowingfor the city's financial institutions which are all on 
; sound and solid basis and directed and managed by 
jouservative and experienced men. The eleven national 
ianks' aggregate resources amount to $30,000,000. 

The bank clearances for 1891 are certainly very large and 
wholesomely gratifying, and plainly indicate Denver's 
inparalleled prosperity and progress among the commercial 
ienters of the continent. 



Abstract of Assessment. 

The abstract of the assessment of the State of Colorado for 
B91 aggregates $275,000,000. This total is an excess over 
^90 of almost $50,000,000. 



The Theatres. 

I 

It seems impossible to speak of any one particular feature 
|f Denver without uttering eulogy and unstinted praise, j-et 
kin any one gainsay the fact that the "Gem City of the 
I'est " has the finest, largest, handsomest, best equipped 
nd most modern temples erected to the mimic world that 
|re known to modern tiines? For years it has been ceded 
liat the Tabor Grand Opera House, erected in 1S80 by 
fc-Senator H. A. W. Tabor, was the most unique and mag- 
ificent play-house extant. Its interior richness of finish, 
jot unlike the grandest palace car, has for years been the 
ride of the theatrical profession throughout the world. Its 
iitire mechanical construction, and especially that of the 

age, is onl}' equaled by the Auditorium in Chicago. And

yet the Tabor Graud has a fitting rival and peer in the 
elegant Broadway Theatre, which, owing to the times, cost 
only $300,000, while the Tabor Grand cost $750,000. The 
People's Theatre, at Cleveland Place and Fifteenth Street,, 
was originally called the Metropolitan. It was built in 1889, 




after the Norman style of architecture. The building is 
now owned by ex-Senator H. A. W. Tabor, and is operated 
py a stock company. The double theatre and museum on 
JL:urtis Street, known as Wonderland, completes the list of 
legitimate places of public amusement in the city. 

I Public Libraries. 

j Kveu in bu.sy, bustling Denver, where everyone seems to 
be doing nothing but being in a hurry, there are thousand. s 
||vho find time for literary culture and its refining influ 
bices. Kvery day the Mercantile and High School libraries 
,jre thronged with seekers after book information. The 
|kercantile library, located on the third floor of the Chamber 
>f Commerce, was started five years ago. It contains 26,000 
volumes. During the year 1891. 75,000 people enjoyed the 
)rivileges of its reading rooms. The High School library 
ontaius 11,000 volumes, and 8,000 persons monthly seek 
ntellectual nourishment in its cozy reading rooms. Both 
ibraries are very popular with the public.

The Clubs of Denver. 

The Denver Club, on Seventeenth street, is the oldest 
social organization in Denver. Four hundred and fifty very 
rich and opulent gentlemen of the city comprise its member- 
ship. The Club house is most modern and elegant, and the 
interior as grand as money can make it. Annual receptions 
are held the thirtieth of each December. Thursday is 
ladies' day, when the wives of members entertain their lady 
friends at luncheon. 

The active spirit and business element of Denver is repre- 
.serited in the Colorado Club on Arapahoe street. It has a 




i'--:

very large membership. The seven-storj' club house cost 
$80,000 and is thorough and complete. 

The Progress Club, consisting of one hundred leading 
merchants of Denver, was incorporated in 1886. The $50,000 
club house is situated on lyincoln avenue, between Twentieth 
and Twenty-first streets. 

The lyOtus club house is at 1544 California .street. It is a 
very quiet organization consi.sting of one hundred and fifty 
members.

The University Club is of recent origin and is an organ -i

and science, and no one can become a member who has not 
a diploma from some university or college. The club is 
located at 1422 Curtis street. 

The Glenarm Club is a literary organization started in 
1884 with a membership of sixty. It now boasts of over 
eight hundred members. 



Maimfactnring and Coinmereial. 

Comparatively few people in Denver, unless largely iden- 
tified with the manufacturing and commercial interests, 
would even venture the thought that forty-seven millions of 
dollars was the value of the manufactured product of 
Denver's industries during the year 1891. Yet such is the 
fact. There has been averj^ healthy increase in the number 
of manufactories, in the vahie of the products, and hence 
in the number of men employed throughout (a conservative 
estimate placing the number at fifteen thousand who are 
paid wages in the various manufacturing establishments of 
this cit}-), but this cannot be accurately stated until the 
Chamber of Commerce compiles its official report during 
1892. But few manufacturers will give the correct figures of 
their business tor the year. But all agree to the fact of an 
increase of business over 1890. A careful canvass of the citj' 
enables a very^ close estimate to be given. The statement is 
prepared from data gleaned from only the leading firms, 
the field being too great to interview the smaller but none 
the less prosperous firms. During 1891 there were 880 manu- 
facturing establishments in operation, employing 14,200 
persons, paying $9,748,000 in wages, which produced $47,000,- 
000 worth of products. Among the manufactories com- 
mencing in 1891 are the Denver Gypsum Company, Denver 
Steam Potterj^ Works, Milwaukee Brewery, Van Gestel's 
Incandescent Electric Lamp Company, Overland Cotton 
Mills, Denver Match Factor^', Terra Cotta Lumber Companj-, 
Colorado Packing Company (new plant), Denver Sewer Pipe 
Company, The Warren Pottery Works, The Western Brew- 
ery, Mica Asbetite Insulating Company, Denver Paper Mills 
Company, Hitchcock Knitting Mills, American Manufac- 
turing Company, Stearns & Rogers Incandescent Light 
Fixtures.

The Jobbing Trade. 

Few cities of 100,000 more population than Denver can 
compare with it in the matter of its jobbing trade. This is 
due, of course, to the fact that it is the trade center of the 
whole State; in fact, it is true that the entire State depends 
upon Denver for its source of supplies. Of course Pueblo is 
more or less a depot of no mean proportions in this regard, 
but it in no way compares with the Capital. The total sales 
of the jobbing houses for 1891 aggregate $47,984,790. 

Agriculture. 

Irrigation has turned Colorado from an alkali desert into 
a veritable garden spot. Where once grew only the cactus, 
t)rickly pear and hoary buffalo grass, now blooms miles upon 
miles of golden grain and tasseled corn, or the dark green 
fields of timothy and alfalfa. According to the government 
geological .survey the State of Colorado contains 104,50 csquare 
miles, of which 54,000 square miles, or 43,560,000 acres, are 
susceptible of irrigation and cultivation. As there were 
3,000 miles of irrigating ditches constructed during 1S91, 
and an additional 600,000 acres of land actually cultivated, 
the cultivated area of the State includes 4,000,000 acres, 
which is divided into 700,000 acres for alfalfa, 500,000 acres to 
natural and seeded grasses, and 900,000 acres to grains and 
vegetables, the total valuation of the entire product of which 
ivill reach the handsome sum of $56,000,000. 

Fruit Culture. 

Fruit culture in Colorado is now a settled industry since 
irrigation revealed the wonderful productiveness of the 
soil for raising anything that grows in any country under 
natural or artificially prepared conditions. Large crops of 
berries and small fruits are raised in Eastern Colorado as 
well as the valleys of the eastern and western slopes of the 
Great Divide. Horticulturalists throughout the State now 
bring apples, peaches, pears, apricots and grapes to market 
which are larger and better flavored than the old Eastern or 
California varieties. There are now 700,000 apple trees 
planted in the State. The oldest apple orchard is twenty-four 
years old and the largest orchard contains 4,000 trees which

produced 21,000 bushels iu 1S91, Orchards thrive iu alti- 
tudes as high as 7,000 feet above sea level, when in protected 
vallej-s, and Colorado is now considered as good an apple 
State as any iu the Union. 

Of all the fruits grown iu the State the watermelon pro- 
duces the largest yield and a never failing crop. The State 
is a veritable Georgia in this respect, and Colorado furnishes 
several foreign markets with the luscious melon. There 
are twentj'-one fruit growing counties in the State which, 
combined, contain 8,750 acres of orchards. While the 
5'ield is very large and prolific, outside of a small local 
market the entire product is consumed in Denver. 

Produce Receipts. 

During the year 1891 the various express companies 
brought into Denver 1,917,408 pounds of butter, 56,000 pounds 
of eggs and 2,789,463 pounds of poultry. This is exclusive 
of State products which would increase each commoditj- to 
three times as much as regards eggs and poultry. 

Coal and Coke. 

Colorado has fifty-five counties, sixteen of which are coal 
and coke producers, the largest of which is I,as Animas, 
which has a record for iSgi of almost two million tons, or 
nearly one-half of the total product of the State, which was 
5,000,000 tons with a total value of $9,572,185. The five 
principal coal and coke producing counties are I,as Animas, 
Fremont, Gunnison. Garfield and Pitkin, with a total of 
300,000 tons. 

Building' Stone. 

Less than a score of ^-ears ago Colorado .stone was an 
unheard of quantity and since that time $9,500,000 of the 
various building material has been produced. The area of 
available quarries is unlimited, and the total production for 
1891 is just under $3,000 000. The area of marble deposits is 
reliably estimated now to be 1,000 acres. The major por- 
tion of all the stone produced in the State is being used iu 
Denver buildings. What is not used here goes to Nebraska 
and Kansas, and several consignments have gone to Iowa 
and Illinois.

Siuce the great local deinaud has been priucipally the 
cause of an aggressive prospecting for building and paving 
stone, little or no monumental work being as yet done from 
Colorado stone, although within the last few years very 
large deposits of marble and granite have been discovered 
that is quite accessible and of the finest quality for monu- 
mental purposes and for the finer grades of building. The 
use of this class of stones will increase as the population 
becomes dense and the wealth of the cities of this and 
immediately adjoining States increase. 

All that is wanted is a good market and a reasonably 
cheap transportation to make this department of the stone 
industry a great one. The business of paving having been 
inaugurated within the last few years in the cities situated 
on the Missouii river, notably Kansas City and Omaha, has- 
given the quarries in Boulder and Larimer counties a great 
impetus and built up permanent business in both these 
counties of large proportions in making paving blocks and 
supplying flagging for sidewalks, there being no finer in 
any part of the world for this purpose than the hard^ 
silicious, laminated stone of these two districts. 

The I^arimer County stone is of a grayish color, and that 
of Boulder County mostly red. The readiness with which 
this stone can be made into paving blocks has made it quite 
a favorite w^ith pavers. 

It would be almost futile to attempt a description of the 
various varieties of building stone suitable for any kind of 
treatment suggested by the architect or builder, at least 
fifty different kinds being found in this State, all of which 
has found a greater or less market in the cities and be3'ond 
the State. 

I,ittle is risked when it is .said that in less than ten years 
Colorado will have manufactured native granite in every 
cit}' in the Union, and that building stone of the finer 
grade will be shipped as far east as Chicago and St. Louis, 
which is done in a small way already. The da}' is not far 
distant when Colorado will have almost exclusive control of 
the .stone market of the Mis.souri River States and all the 
territory surrounding Colorado. 

Colorado Oil Fields. 

Not the least factor in Colorado's mineral production is 
that of crude oil of a light gravity for illuminating and fuel

I purposes. The output of the State per diem will aggregate 
about 20,000 barrels, priucipally from the fields at Florence. 
I Considerable "wild-catting" and test drilling has been 
j done during the j'car, but only in the Florence district, 
I which seems inexhaustible, have results been profitable 
I and satisfactory. The prospecting in the sandrock nearer 
I Denver, which was commenced by a Pennsylvania company 
in 1890, has " petered out," with the result of nothing but 
[ "dry" holes. The local production of refined oil for illu- 
i minating purposes is quite sufficient to supply the home 
I demands. Not one hundredth portion of the possible oil 
I area has yet been explored, but the year 1S92 bids well to 
I see new fields opened up in the south-central portion of the 
> State. Oil springs have recently been discovered in the 
I Grand Valley, and the future outlook for that country is 
very promising. 

I The Railroads. 

The railroad is a great civilizer — in fact the. verj- greatest 
known to a new and growing country. Since the first exo- 
dus across the Great American Desert in 1S49, the march 
of Empire has been toward the Occident. From the Mis- 
[ sissippi and the Missouri to the Pacific, the Indian upon 
the savage warpath, and the king of the plains, the buffalo, 

II have been replaced by one vast outspreading panorama 
I of beautiful cities, fast-growing towns, villages and hamlets, 
; verdant farms, and, withal, spreading over that vast area is 
j the highest type of civilization, social culture and educa- 
tional attainments; peopled bj' a live, thrifty class, the best 
fruits of the advanced human looms of the earth, whose 

|. ideas in everj- avocation in life are concentrated upon one 
object — " Forward ! " Thus, onward and upward and west- 
ward, steady and .sure, the march of empire takes its way 

I by the aid of the railroads. 

|| In 1871 but one line of railway reached the little town of 
Denver, a canvas-backed camp at the foot of the Rockies. 

' Within twenty years twenty more lines of railway now 
enter the most magnificent city on the continent, and there 
are yet more to follow. The Union Pacific and Colorado 
Central were the fir.st lines to link and join with iron bands 
the Rockies with the Mississippi Valley-. 

The sturdy little Rio Grande Company then began the 
memorable battle with opposition corporations, the elements 
aud granite mountain walls, for a passageway- through the

lorand Canon of the Arkansas to the great mining- camp of 
(Leadville. This line marks the achievement of the greatest 
[feat of railroad engineering known. The South Park built 
iup the Platte Canon and over Kenosha Hill to Buena VistaV 
and thence reached Leadville over the Rio Grande tracks. 
Later, in 1883-4, the South Park built the " High L,ine," and 
since then has reached the mountain meti-opolis over its 
own tracks. The Colorado Midland was the third Colorado 
corporation to build from Denver over the Divide to the 
Pacific slope, and is also a wonder in railroad engineering. 
Its present terminus is Grand Junction. 

There are now 5,000 miles of railroad in the State, and 
there is not a mining camp of any description of any im- 
portance in the State but what is reached by rail. Within 
the past seven years the railroad growth of Denver is unpar- 
alleled in history. Among the more recent roads entering 
Denver are the Missouri Pacific, Atchison, Topeka & Santa 
Fe, Denver & New Orleans, Rock Island, Chicago & North- 
western, Burlington, and Milwaukee & ,St. Paul. With the 
new additions made to the Union Depot, that handsome 
structure has cost $550,000. There are twenty-two railroads 
centering in Denver, and eighty-five passenger trains arrive 
and depart daily. 

The Pike's Peak Route. 

To the traveler within the State, or the toui-ist en route 
from ocean to ocean, there is no trip so delightful and 
satisfactory as that from Denver or Colorado Springs to 
Grand Junction or Salt Lake City, over the Pike's Peak 
Route. Not only does the Pike's Peak Route disclose the 
wonderful beauties of the mountain ranges en masse, but by 
its bold course into the very heart of the giant ranges it 
discloses, in details of marvelous beauty, boldness and 
grandeur, the whole tremendous fabric of " the great back- 
bone of the earth." 

The Pike's Peak Route crosses the three great ranges of 
the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, climbs as man}- lofty 
passes, traverses three canons which are peculiarly typical 
of the wild and rugged, the mild and beautiful, and the 
awful and sublime in mountain scenery, follows the beauti- 
ful valleys of two of the greatest rivers of Colorado, crosses 
one of the three greatest parks h'ing within the chain of 
Rocky Mountains, passes through the leading smnmer

resorts of the State, touches the two greatest mining camps 
of the world, and all the way over a solid and magnificent 
Dad-bed, on a line which for railway engineering is the 
'onder of the world. 

The Colorado Midland Railway is the standard gauge 
oad crossing the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. From 
)enver it runs directly west through Colorado Springs, an 
11-the-year-round health resort; a clean, pleasant, beautiful 
own, with all the conveniences and luxuries of a metro- 
jolitan city; to Manitou, the famous, the romantic, the 
leautiful, with its innumerable novelties and attractions, 
md its world famous mineral waters — one of the finest 
iummer and winter resorts in the world. Then comes 
Cascade Canon, nestling in a picturesque spot at the base of 
?ike's peak; Ute Park, in the center of the famous Ute 
Pass, overlooking a lovely valley hemmed in by lofty 
nountains; Green Mountain Falls, a cosmopolitan resort 
<vhich became famous in a season and whose fame is rapidly 
spreading from day to day; Woodland Park, at the head of 
the Ute Pass, with a view of Pike's Peak, which once seen 
is never forgotten; and then Manitou Park, to complete the 
list of resorts in the Ute Pass, one of the most beautiful 
parks in all Colorado. A coach and four convey the traveler 
from the station to the park, seven miles distant. From 
Ute Pass the road extends west over the Hayden Divide, 
down to and through Granite Canon, across South Park, 
over Trout Creek Pass and down to Buena Vista in the 
Arkansas Valley and thence to I,eadville. The route from 
IvCadville west is over the Saguache Range or Continental 
Divide, passing through the Hagerman Tunnel at an altitude 
of 11,528 feet — the highest operating railroad in the United 
States. From the summit of the Snowy Range the road 
passes down the Pacific Slope, circling Hell Gate, on the 
Frying Pan River, passing the White Sulphur Springs, and 
through the Red Rock Canon to the Roaring Fork of the 
Grand River. Traversing the Roaring Fork Valley it 
reaches Aspen and Glen wood Springs, from which latter 
place it follows the Grand River Vallej^ to Grand Junction, 
connecting with the Rio Grande Western Railway for Salt 
Lake City, Ogden and the Pacific Coast. 

The Missouri Pacific. 

The Missouri Pacific Railway has shown itself, since May, 
1887, to be one of the most progressive roads that enters the

and St. lyOuis and Eastern points. Within the past seven 
mouths 400 miles of new road have been built, and the enter- 
prising company now run through trains into New Orleans. 
There is no more popular road out of Colorado to the East, 
Southeast and South thau the Missouri Pacific, which is the 
principal outlet by way of Kansas City and Yates Center, 
through Fort Smith to lyittle Rock, known as the Wagoner 
Route. The vastness of this great system which cobwebs 
the Central and Southern States, and stems out to every city 
of any importance through this vast domain, running 
through every village and hamlet, and thus making an 
outlet for the whole country from the Great Divide to the 
East and through the Mississippi Valley regions, which are 
the richest in resources and products of any in the country. 
The Western principal freight and passenger offices are at 
1622 Ivarimer streeet, the company being represented by 
C. A. Tripp, with a corps of able assistants in all depart- 
ments. The Salt L,ake City agency is also under the juris- 
diction of Mr. Tripp, and his representative is Mr. S. V. 
Derrah, one of the most popular railroad men in the Great 
West. The famous Hot Springs in Arkansas is reached 
only by lines of the Missouri Pacific System. The Hotel 
Eastman is the finest, most superb and elegant resort hos- 
telry in the world, as will be testified to by thousands who 
have enjoyed its homelike hospitality. 

In conclusion, it can be truthfully said that the Missouri 
Pacific system of railroads is the second largest in the 
world, but is the most complete of any extant at the present 
time. 

The Famous Santa Fe. 

The famous Santa Fe Route (the Atchison, Topeka & 
Santa Fe Raihiray) is the largest and most extensive railway 
system in the world. This great line makes a special fea- 
ture of California excursions, and such excursion parties 
are personally conducted. These trains leave Boston every 
Thursday, leave Chicago every Saturday, leave St. lyouis 
every Saturday, leave Kansas City every Sunday. A party 
also leaves St. lyOuis every Saturday at 8:25 p. m., via Frisco 
line and Burrton. Pullman tourist sleepers, in charge of 
excursion conductors, run through without change from 
Boston, Chicago, St. I^ouis and Kansas City to San Francisco,

these parties care for the passengers, look after their bag- 
gage, aid in any necessary transfers, assist ladies, children, 
the aged and the infirm, and do all in their power to relieve 
passengers from anxiety as to the details of the journey. 
Second-class tickets are honored in these Pullman tourist 
cars, and as the berth rates are much less than in the palace 
sleepers, there is a considerable saving in expense. 

The trains of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad 
which do not carry dining cars are scheduled to arrive at 
seasonable hours at stations provided with lunch and dining 
rooms. These rooms are in charge of Mr. Fred Harvey, 
and throughout the country have an established reputation 
that is enviable. The food is well cooked and decently 
served, and, what is more remarkable, the passengers are 
not afraid to eat for fear of being left behind, as provision 
is made for notifying each person in ample time before their 
train starts. Henry George points to the Atchison, Topeka 
& Santa Fe dining rooms as models for the United States.

The Rio Grrande Western. 

The Rio Grande Western Railway which starts from 
Grand Junction, Colo., and now terminates at Ogden, Utah 
but will soon build on through to the Pacific Slope, is the 
sjreatest money-making road in the world; it is the great 
artery which connects two great countries lying on either 
side of the Great Divide, which flow with milk and honey, 
dank in richness of golden grain and all cereals, fruits, 
vegetables and untold wealth of minerals. From Grand 
Junction to Ogden is one continuous garden on the surface 
and beneath lie the vast mineral wealth. Principallj^ the 
line is in Utah which extends from 37° to 42° North latitude, 
find from 32° to 37° West longitude, and is an almost exact 
square, three hundred miles each way. It has an area of 
^7)750 square miles, or 52,601,600 acres; of which 2,780 square

equal area on the globe that overflows with more abounding 
and diversified riches of resource and possibility. 

Utah was first settled by a detachment of Mormons, under 
the leadership of Brigham Young, in July, 1847. 

Ivift all New England and New York bodily a mile above 
the level of the sea. Add five thousand feet to the height of 
Mount Washington, and seven thousand to that of Mount 
Mitchell. Throw in dozens of other peaks fully as high, all 
punching holes in the sky with their snowy crowns. Pile 
up, everywhere, hundreds upon hundreds of mountains 
from ten to fourteen thousand feet high. Exaggerate fifty- 
fold all the wild notches and gorges and glens of eastern 
America, and multiply them by scores. Send cataracts and 
cascades leaping and foaming down a thou.sand dizzy 
precipice channels. Toss in, promiscuously, parks large*- 
than whole States in the tame, small-uotioned East; and 
gardens of giant statuary — statues of gods and genii and 
gnomes. Titans, Centaurs, and un-named monsters, thous- 
ands of feet high — hewn by ages vipon ages of winds and 
waves and whirling waters. Cap all the mountain-tops 
with everlasting ice and snow, and clothe their shaggy 
sides with waving forests of valuable timber. Fill all the 
valleys to the mountains' feet with orchards and gardens, 
vineyards and grain-fields, bending beneath the burdens 
of their own magnificent fruitage; and dot the horizon- 
bounded pasture-lands with flocks and herds, waist-deep in 
the very wantonness of plenty. Underlay the whole vast 
area with gold and silver, zinc, copper, lead and iron ores; 
marble of a hundred hues; anthracite, bituminous and 
cannel coal; salt, sulphur, soda, lime and gypsum; and 
nearly every other metal and mineral in human use. 
Through countless wondrous canons, pour mighty rivers 
with water-power enough to run all the world's machinery. 
Smite the rock-ribbed laboratories of Omnipotence, and let 
unnumbered healing floods gush forth, rich in miracle- 
working virtues for the alleviation of many of the sorest 
" ills that flesh is heir to." As the dazzling bosom-jewel of 
the whole transcendent scene, spread out the twenty-five 
hundred square miles of that majestic and mysterious lake, 
whose waters hold in solution wealth enough to pay all the

The Rio Grande Southern. 

One of the chief events in railroad circles during the year 
1891 was the completion of the Rio Grande Southern, pro- 
jected b}' the Hon. Otto Mears, the veteran railroader of the 
West. The last spike was driven in this road in December, 
1891, and now every mining camp in Southern Colorado is 
connected with the smelter and commercial interests of the 
outside world. 

The Denver, Lakewood & Golden. 

Not less important was the completion of the Denver, 
L,akewood & Golden road, which now opens up to market 
the vast agricultural fields which lie between the Capital 
and the beautiful foothill city. 

The Rio Grande & Gunnison. 

One of the most valuable connections has been made 
between Wagon Wheel Gap and the new mining camp at 
Creede, a distance of ten miles, known as the Rio Grande 
& Gunnison, of which ex-President David H. MofFatt, of the 
Denver & Rio Grande, is at the head. It is a very valuable 
railroad addition, and its influence upon the increase of the 
mining output and railroad earnings will be of great value 
during the year 1892. 

The Denver, Apex & Western. 

A survey has been made and in the spring work will com- 
mence upon the Denver, Apex & Western, which will run 
from Denver to Georgetown, and traverse the principal 
points in Clear Creek Canon. This road will give the rich 
mineral fields of Clear Creek County a competing line, and 
which, as now projected, is to be run on through as a 
short line to Salt I^ake City.

The Pike's Peak Cog. 

One of the most unique features in railroading was the 
completion, in July, 1891, of the cog-wheel railroad from 
Manitou to the summit of Pike's Peak. But one other road 
of the kind exists in the world. 

Railroad Business in 1891. 

The freight business into Denver during 1891 was 152,000 
cars. There are 4,700 miles of roads operated in the State, 
and the assessed valuation of all the lines is 130,037,220. 
There are over 14,000 persons employed in various capacities, 
and almost $11,000,000 are annually disbursed as wages. 
There were 470,000 pieces of baggage handled during the 
j^ear, and th.e value of ticket sales will reach $1,500,000. 
Only two strikes on railroads occurred in Colorado during 
the year, the Burlington switchmen of Denver April 10, and 
the Union Pacific brakemen at Trinidad April 21, both 
being successful. 

The general outlook for the railroad interests of Colorado 
was never before so promising as for 1892. 

The DuBois Stock Farm. 

No visitor to Denver can appreciate its beauty and mag- 
nificent surroundings if he fails to visit the model trotting- 
horse breeding establishment of DuBois Brothers, situated 
in the eastern outskirts of the city, reached by an easy 
drive over Fourteenth avenue, thence across to Sixth avenue, 
and thence in an easterly direction, thus taking the traveler 
over the best avenues and boulevards in the city. At this 
farm the lover of the productions of nature can find more of 
interest than at any place in the State, as this is the home of 
that superb trotting stallion Superior, whose name is a 
household word throughout the limits of the trotting-horse 
world of America. Combining as he does in his pedigree 
the most intense infusion of the blood of Hambletonian X. 
and Mambrino Chief XI., he is without a peer in the excel- 
lence of his blood lines, while his extreme speed, his perfect 
size, form, conformation and temperament stamp him as one 
of the foremost^trotting stallions yet bred upon this conti- 
nent.

department of this great horse nursery, while in the pad- 
docks may be seen some of the highest bred and best 
individual youngsters by Superior and other great sires, to 
be found upon any breeding farm in America, and as the 
citizens of Denver have just found time to pause in their 
wild scramble for the accumulation of riches and to consider 
and appreciate the advantages to be derived from the estab- 
lishment of suburban resorts, every citizen feels a just pride 
in the enterprise of the proprietors of this great breeding 
establishment in giving to visitors and citizens such a 
splendid opportunity for recreation and enjoyment. 

Colorado Cattle Growers' Association. 

In his twenty-fourth annual report to the Colorado Cattle 
Growers' Association, Secretary H. H. Metcalf gives an 
extended and comprehensive review of the industry from 
its inception in this State up to the present time. Speaking 
in general, he says: 

" Since our meeting a year ago, there has been a steady 
reduction in the number of cattle in Colorado by the 
slaughter and shipment of all classes, and this reduction 
has not been overcome by importations. This naturally 
tends to greater security for the cattle upon the open 
ranges, as we all know that an abundance of feed renders 
our most severe winters harmless. Reports from all parts 
of the State show that the grass is generalW better than for 
several years, and, with the exception of a few minor 
localities, stock is generally in good condition. At the last 
annual meeting we anticipated an advance in values during 
the year 1S90. We wer^ justified in such anticipations, and 
in the early summer all indications were favorable to our 
expectations, bvit we could not foresee the failure of the corn 
crop, which alone, I believe, prevented an advance in 
prices that would have rendered our business entirely 
satisfactory for the year that has just closed. It is fair to 
assume that the farmers will find the next season a suc- 
cessful one, and, in view of the steady and enormous 
reduction in the number of cattle and the great increase of 
population, we are certainly justified in assuming that the 
law of supply and demand cannot always be defied, but 
that the depleted ranges and reduced number of cattle held 
in the agricultural States must inevitably result in better 
prices for cattle on foot.

"The law enacted by the last General Assembly requiring 
inspection of beef cattle on foot at points where the carcass 
is to be exposed for sale is practically now a dead statute, 
although the Supreme Court of Colorado has not passed 
upon the constitutionality of the law. Similar laws in other 
States have been declared unconstitutional, and for several 
months no attempt has been made in this State to enforce 
its provisions. The short time that it was enforced was 
productive of much good. It encouraged our packing houses 
to extend their operations, and directed the attention of 
Colorado farmers to the importance of feeding cattle for a 
home market, so that, whatever the decision of the courts 
may be, the law has already accomplished some good for 
our business. Surely, if the "original package" is the 
"proper caper," our steers, dressed as God made them, 
must fill the bill in preference to dressed beef made up of 
cripples, big jaws and other ailments. 

" The movement of Texas cattle to the North was larger 
than in 1889. The trail is not yet abandoned, although the 
end is near. Railroads and settlements have destroyed the 
great natural highway, and it must soon be numbered with 
the things that, having finished their work, vanish and are 
remembered as a pleasant memory. 

" As we think Colorado far ahead of her neighbors in her 
resources, her grand scenery and climate, and the manhood 
of her sons, so do our stock laws, in the safety they throw 
around the interest, tower above the stock laws of other 
States. Good heads mapped out the law, and its value 
cannot be estimated. The small owner is benefited more 
than the large one, and the steer that wanders from the 
Arkansas River to north of the Platte returns to its owner in 
the form of a check when he least expects it. I believe it 
would be good policy for every shipper to send off all the 
unknown cattle on his range, thus saving it to that extent — 
remove the temptation that will always exist in man, and 
thus enable the owner to get its full value, as attested by his 
account sales. Our losses by theft are growing smaller on 
account of the perseverance of the Association in ferreting 
out and punishing thieves. 

" We continue to enjoy amicable relations with all the 
railroads of the State, and find them ready and willing to 
adjust losses for cattle killed, without unreasonable delay. 
With scarcely a murmur, they have paid for cattle killed, 
far above the market price, and it is but fair that a new

schedule should 'be "prepared nearer the actual value of 
cattle. The railroads have been the highest market the 
producer could strike, and if the prices paid by them pre- 
vailed at the Eastern markets, every cattleman would be 
Vearing a smile as broad as the horns of Texas cattle of 
ly-gone days. The schedule prices do not extend to the 
fiae stock of our State, but from what I see and hear every 
day^, the owners of such cattle still believe there has been 
nochange in their value since the glorious days that seem 
to xs but a dream. There has passed through this office, 
and been distributed to the members of this Association 
alon«, for cattle killed by the different railroads, the sum of 
114,63^.50 in the last twelve months, an increase of $1,536 
over tie preceding year. The same cattle shipped to the 
several markets would have realized that amount. 

"Tote Fair " has always been the motto of the cowman, 
bred from youth to the business, so let us " Tote Fair " with 
the railroads. Every request has been granted cheerfully, 
and without their help our expenses would be wonderfully 
increased. 

"The Sanitary Board, by its rulings, endeavors to make 
everyone feel safe. One ovitbreak of Texas fever occurred 
this year near Snyder, Colo., in the herd of Cooper & 
Caldwell. Where it came from could never be traced, and 
it disappeared almost as mysteriously. The loss was very 
small, but every one with cattle on the open range breathed 
easier when it disappeared. 

"The question as to the proper basis for settling com- 
missions for selling cattle is still an open one. This Associa- 
tion has steadily contended for the percentage system as 
against a fixed charge. The question was brought before 
the meeting of cattlemen at Fort Worth a few months ago. 
The meeting adopted the views of this Association, but our 
efforts have not yet brought about the change. It is still a 
subject for further consideration and action. 

" It is very much desired that there shall be an increase in 
our membership, for rea.sons that are self-evident. I know 
of nothing that will do more to this end than for the Asso- 
ciation to have a pleasant home where its members may 
both pleasantly and profitably spend their time. 

" The winter thus far has been excellent and favorable in 
every way to the stock-growing interests, no storms to do 
great damage, and hardly cold enough in the entire State to 
make our cattle shrink from the excellent condition they

acquired in the early fall. With the sun on its upward 
course, and the long nights gradually growing shorter, we 
will soon be ready for the coming season, hoping for a good 
market, to which everything points, and hoping the farmers 
yill have good corn crops, thus enabling us to sell the 
Rowing feeders. Prices are gradually rising, and I firmly 
believe the coming year's values will be higher than in 
those just passed." 



The Houston Gold Cure. 

Oneof the most remarkable phases of life in the early year 
was the location of the Western Division of the now most 
celebrated gold cure institutions known in this country — 
the Houston. Its coming unheralded, quietly and unostenta- 
tiously was remarkable from the fact that a blare of trumpets 
always preceded and followed the movements of previous 
gold cures. It was remarkable from the fact of the number 
of drunken men it cured of the habit, sobered up and lifted 
from the gutter and made honorable, decent and highly 
respected citizens. Since the advent of Dr. George A. Nash, 
as Chief Medical Director, and Col. Charles C. Graham, as 
Manager of the Houston Sanitarium, about 200 men have 
taken the treatment and been cured of the disease of alco- 
holism or the morphine, opium or cocaine habits. No one 
institution, cause or thing has ever done so much for the 
social welfare of Denver, and the Sanitarium, now located 
in the Charles Block, at Fifteenth and Curtis streets, is 
looked upon by the Denver populace as the greatest soul- 
saver that ever blessed a community. Within a short time 
the Sanitarium will occupy new and even more handsome 
appartments than at present. The constantly increasing 
attendance of students necessitates more commodious quar- 
ters. A large and elegant private residence will be pur- 
chased by the management and occupied, which will assure 
more privacy and manifold conveniences. In such a medium 
as this it is impossible to cover the ground or give the space 
such a godsend to humanity as the Houston Gold Cure de- 
serves. Treatment is given privately where desired, and a 
cure in all cases guaranteed. " We never had a patient die 
or relapse into his or her old habits," is thestatementmade 
by the cordial management.

The New State Capitol. 

The construction portion of the new State Capitol is almost 
completed. The walls exterior and interior of the magnifi- 
cent structure are now completed and the iron girders and 
beams for the roof are being placed in position preparatory 
to receiving its final covering of slate, of which about 
twenty-two carloads will be required. This work will be 
completed by June i, and then the ventilating and heating 
apparatus will be commenced. The managers wisely desire 
to adopt only the most improved systems. 

The building consists of a sub-basement, basement and 
three stories, and presents a splendid appearance at the 
present time. The height of the dome from grade line to 
the top of the statue will be 256 feet. So far about $1,350,000 
have been expended, and when the building is completed 
it will be the finest in the State of Colorado and one of the 
finest capitol buildings in the country. Well may every 
citizen of the Centennial State be justly proud of it.

The Denver Athletic Club. 

The Denver Athletic Club is one of the very finest insti- 
tutions of its kind in the world. Its handsome stone and 
brick building is a beautiful and everlasting monument to 
Olympia, whose temples through all ages have outshone in 
splendor of art and architecture, in richness and cost, all 
5uch rivals as Thespesian and Terpsicorean endeavor. The 
^reat building which homes one of the most famous athletic 
;lubs of modern times, vies with those of the great cities 
hroughout civilization, or the barbaric East. Twelve hun- 
dred members are classed upon its roll of distinguished 
honor, and they comprise the very cream of the spotless 
manhood of beautiful Denver. 

Horticulture. 

Secretary Shaw of the Colorado State Horticultural 
A.ssociation, in his report for 1891, states that an increase 
A 20 per cent in fruit acreage occurred during the year 
:here now being 25,000 acres of producing orchards. His 
-eport also shows that there are 300 varieties of apples grown

New Concerns. 

A branch of the great Methodist Book Concern of Cincin- 
lati and New York will soon be opened for business in 
Denver. Among other publications issued by this concern 
vill be the Rocky Mountain Christian Advocate. 

Mr. Frank N. Briggs, representing eastern capital, will 
establish a builders' hardware and house furnishing manu- 
factory at Ivakewood, ten acres of ground haying been 
ionated by the Denver, L,akewood and Golden Railway 
Company for that purpose. 

A New Bank. 

One of the best indications of Denver's financial pros- 
perity is the opening ot a new banking institution by Mr. 
bYed Kilham, late cashier of the State National Bank, and 
several other prominent business men, who are the incorpo- 
rators. The new institution is neither a national nor 
savings bank, but a financial concern that handles com- 
mercial paper and carries on the otherwise usual business 
3f a banking institution. 

Elmwood Place. 

Elmwood Place is a very popular addition to Denver, and 
;o shrewd investors it will be worthy of more than a passing 
lotice. Its very pleasant and healthful location, sightliness 
md accessibility, the many substantial improvements and 
extremely low prices cannot help but demand the attention 
)f the investor and home-seeker. Early purchasers secure 
nanifold advantages in such conservative investment which 
:4 universally conceded to have no equal in any city on the 
ontinent. Elmwood Place lies in that very desirable 
•esidence portion of the city, lying north-east of the City

Park. The desirability of the property is best exemplified 
by the rapid sales and the continual changing of hands 
3wing to rapidly advancing values. The land lies level on 
1 gentle-sloping plateau just fitted for perfect drainage and 
liealth. I^ots are 25 by 125 feet with 16 foot alleys; the 
ivenues are 60 to 100 feet wide, all graded, and the Denver 
tvater system is thorough and complete throughout the 
entire addition. As a whole or in part, Elm wood Place is 
;he most advantageous and desirable portion of the city, all 
:hings considered. For further information, see advertise- 
ment of the company owning this property. 

Items of Special Interest. 

The present hotels of Denver can comfortably accommo- 
iate 25,000 extra guests at any time. 

The view of the mountain range from Denver embraces a 
range of vision from North to South of 300 miles. 

The dry, still air of Denver is such that 90° in the shade 
fiere is about equal to 75° in the East, and likewise 20° below 
7,ero here will compare with 5° in lower altitudes. 

One hundred and twenty-five artesian wells in Denver 
supply 5,000,000 gallons of absolutely pure water, yet the 
Holly water, supplied by two companies, is better and 
jurer than the water of L,ake Michigan. 

Carloads of native celery are now exported east from 
Denver. Four years ago the local supply was brought from 
Michigan. 

The Fort I,ogan Military Post, near Denver, is one of the 
^ery finest in the United States. It occupies 520 acres of 
and, and is unsurpassed for dut}' and beauty. 

The soil of Colorado is most aptly fitted for plant and cereal 
x)od. The ground teems with phosphates, carbonates, sul- 
phates, soda, salts, potash, magnesia, nitrogen and am- 
nonia. 

No State or country in the world produces as large a total 
)f precious metals as Colorado. 

Colorado has 9,000 miles of irrigating canals and ditches 
;hat furnish water to 4,000,000 acres of cultivated land. 

The wool clip for Colorado in 1891 was in excess of 1,000,000 
pounds.

jCauonaud lava. The Maiiitou red and peachblow saiid- 
I stoue are mostly used for superstructure work. The I.oug- 
imont blue and buff sandstone is extensively used in 
, combination effectively. Eight hundred men are employed 
I m the State cutting stone, receiving the highest wages. The 
, stone industry is fast increasing throughout the State. 
I A few years ago, when the plains of the State were almost 
^ barren waste and the cattle industry was second only to 
jthat of mining, but little thought was given that Colorado 
would soon become the producer of only the very finest 
jbreeds of imported and high pedigree stock. The mild 
IJwmters, extensive ranches productive of grain, and fodder 
lands and pure water, has brought about this wonderful 
:hange in the cattle industry. 

Arapahoe County. 

Arapahoe County, of which Denver is the county seat, 
)ackbone and financial center, as with the State," is the 
Richest county in Colorado and is now in the most flourish- 
ing condition ever known. The finest and most magnificent 
structure owned by the county is the Court House, which, 
,luring the past year, was completed one of the handsomest 
md most complete jail structures in the country, a veritable 
:luphcate of the court house in matter of cost and finish. 

The revenue from taxes received during the year over- 
-opped the one million dollar mark to some extent, which 
imount also includes the school taxes. 

Seventeen county roads were opened up during the year 
)y the commissioners, aggregating 200 miles of road-bed. 

The State's Treasury. 

During the year 1891 there was on hand and received at 
he State treasury, $3,424,148.09 and the disbursements 
mounted to 11,571,338.88. 



Bonded Indebtedness. 

The bonded indebtedness for the State of Colorado is

Free Kinderg-artens. 

The Free Kindergarten movement in Denver is undoubt- 
edly the greatest of any city of its size in the world. There 
are eight free kindergartens in the city, five of which are 
under the management of one association, which also has 
charge of the Normal Training School and the Day Nursery 
Kindergarten. There are over 800 poor children thus 
cared for. 

State Insurance Department. 

The State Superintendent of Insurance reports nineteen 
insurance companies doing business in the State — twelve 
fire, two life, two accident and three assessment life and 
accident. The licenses during the year turned over to the 
State'fund were $30,037.08, being an increase over any pre- 
ceding year. 



The Colorado Coal and Iron Company. 

The Colorado Coal and Iron Company shipped during the 
year 1891, 915,000 tons of coal, 180,000 tons of coke, 90,000 tons 
of manufactured steel, iron, cast iron water pipe, nails, 
spike, angle bars. 

The Colorado Coal and Iron Company completed blast 
furnace No. 3, at Bessemer in November of last year. This 
is the largest furnace that has been built west of Chicago, 
having a capacity of 130 tons of pig iron in twenty-four 
hours. The furnace cost $185,000. The company also built 
a new converting works at Bessemer, which was finished in 
December of last year, costing $83,000. Twenty-four new 
steel boilers were added to the steel and iron mill plant. 
The new pipe foundry was put in operation last year with a 
capacity of seventy-five tons per day, making cast iron 
water pipe from three to thirty-six inches in diameter. The 
new pipe works cost $145,000. Altogether the improvements 
made by the Colorado Coal and Iron Company at Bessemer 
in the year 1891, amounted to $755,000. 

The company now has a capacity of 400 tons of manufac- 
tured steel and iron products in twenty-four hours, a 
capacity of 175,000 kegs of nails per annum, and a capacity 
of 28,000 tons of cast iron water pipe per annum.

RIVERSIDE CEMETERY 

DENVER. COLORADO 
Office, Rooa 222 Ernest-Cranaer Building 



jI^IVERSIDE CEMETERY is commended to the 
favorable consideration of the public. 

It is the oldest improved cemetery in the State. 

Years of judicious cultivation have beautified 
the grounds as only time and nature, aided by 
scientific culture, can. Its grassy plots, adorned 
with rich beds of flowers and ornamental plants ; 
its graveled walks overhung with shade ; its graceful 
statues and stately monuments, half hidden, half 
revealed in the clustering foliage, complete an 
ensemble, picturesque, reposeful and beautiful. 

In this arid section cemetery culture is impossible 
without an abundant and economical water supply. 

Located on the Platte River, with prior water 
rights, and owning its own extensive plant for raising 
and distributing the water, Riverside offers advan- 
tages in this respect unapproached by any similar 
organization. 

It was the first cemetery association in this 
section to adopt the endowment system, by means 
of which, for a small deposit, lot owners may 
provide at once for the continuous care of their lots. 

For further information application may be made 
to any of the undertakers of the City or to

Riverside Cemetery is commended to the favorable con- 
sideration of intending lot purchasers by the following 
facts : Fifteen years satisfactory public service and success- 
ful administration of its afifairs constitutes a fair basis of 
confidence for the future. It is the oldest improved ceme- 
tery in the State. Years of judicious cultivation have beau- 
tified the grounds as only time and nature, aided by scientific 
culture, can. Its grassy plots, adorned with rich beds of

riverside offers advantages in this important respect, unap- 
)roached by any similar organization. 

It is the nearest and most easilj' accessible improved pub- 
ic cemetery contiguous to the city, being but three and a 
lalf miles from the Union Depot and High School. The 
"uneral cortege may reach the grounds by rail in fifteen 
ninutes or by carriages in less than an hour from the start. 
,'isitors have the option of private couvej^ance, or by either 
he L,arimer Street cable or Lawrence Street electric lines, 
onnecting during the summer season at every even hour 
vith the cemetery hacks. The connection with the hacks 
s at the intersection of 41st Street. Connection may also 
)e made with the hack from the Welton Street cable by a 
omfortable walk of three blocks northward from the pres- 
nt terminus of the Welton Street line near 38th Street, cov- 
ering the distance to 41st Street. Visitors by private con- 
eyances are recommended to take the route past the Hyde 
'ark School and Union Pacific Hospital, which avoids all 
ailway switches and offers a safe and smooth road. With 
>rdiuar3' care in approaching the main track crossings this 
oute obviates all danger and inconvenience. One of the 
ity railway companies has now in contemplation the pro- 
ection of one of its lines direct to the cemetery, which will 
upply quick and comfortable transportation thither on a 
ive-ceut fare. If found desirable, arrangements will then 
)e made to run funeral trains. 

With two commodious green houses, supplied with a 
hoice collection 'of the best varieties of flowers, foliage 
)lauts and exotics, adapted to our soil and climate, a well 
locked nurserj' and important acquisitions to this service 
o be immediately added, lot owners are assured of being 
ible to procure on the grounds at reasonable cost and little 
uconvenience, the best selection for decorative purposes. 

There is no mortgage or bonded indebtedness against the 
^.ssociation or its property. It has no debt. 

Closely associated with the choice of location is the ques- 
ion of permanency. To be assuredly permanent the loca- 
ion must be measurably free from objection on the part of 
he general public, and certain to continue so. 

Riverside Cemetery is happily free from all objection, 
•ither from the "neighborhood" or "sanitary" stand 
)oint, and no proposition for its abandonment for such 
easons can ever arise. Over $200,000 have been expended 
)y the Association in the improvement of the grounds, 
md as much more in granite and marble by lot owners.

More than 12,000 dead sleep beueath its hallowed shade, 
through whom, perhaps, an hundred thousand kindred are 
in sympathy with its maintenance. Its stabilitj"^ its estab- 
lished beyond question. 

The Association has had under consideration the erection 
of a crematory, and suitable preserving vaults for the ac- 
commodation of such as prefer this method, and while it is 
not believed that the general public is at this time sufficient- 
ly interested to warrant action, the management are pre- 
pared to meet such a demand so soon as it is made manliest. 

Lotlirop & Co.'s Maiiufiicturing- Property. 

A careful computation shows that the natural trade terri- 
tory of Denver embraces to-day over 450,000 people, and that 
with a proper extension of its industrial resources, the 
market of 8,000,000 inhabitants will in three years be natur- 
ally tributary to Denver's merchants and manufacturers. 
The last three years have marked the "manufacturing era" 
of our history — and we have only just begun to enter upon 
that period of prosperity that mu.st surely follow building of 
large manufactories. There are already 149 manufactories 
in Denver, furnishing employment to a large and steadily 
increasing number of skilled workmen. It is admitted that 
we have greater resourses of cheap fuel and more varied 
raw materials than any other section of the United States, 
and the only objection that has ever been successfully urged 
against a vast development of manufactories in Denver is 
that the tributary region is not sufficiently populous. But 
when we remember that the great territory of which Denver 
is the natural supply point, imported more than $55,000,000 
worth of manufactured goods last year, and that the amount 
of such imports has been steadily increasing for the last 
decade, the idea of manufacturing all .sorts of textile fabrics, 
and all the products of iron and steel in the shadow of the 
Rockies does not seem so foolish as might first appear. 
With the building of the Denver Paper Mills, and the 
Hitchcock Woolen Mill, and the Overland Cotton Mills 
began the new era in Denver's phenomenal history that has 
turned the eyes of the world to this metropolis as one of 
those solid financial centers where investments were safe 
and profitable. The Denver Paper Mill is now night and 
day making from spruce timber, obtained within seventy- 
five miles, and brought to its doors by the South Park

sale and there is no question that the manufacture of cotten 
goods at this point is a sure success. 

The Woolen mills and Match factory find a sale for all the 
products they can turn out. A large settlement of operatives 
have sprung up around these mills, and the operatives are 
of the most intelligent class. 

A large boot and shoe factory costing over $100,000 is now 
being erected and will be in operation by September i. It 
will employ 250 hands. 

The successful establishment of these factories furnish a 
sure guarantee of the certainty of profitable returns in other 
and kindred lines, and there is no question but that the 
year 1892 will bring the opening of many factories employ- 
ing hundreds of operatives. 

Just as this goes to press the following industries are 
being projected with every prospect of certain instalment: 
Barb Wire factory, Steel works, Tool and Hardware factory, 
Iron and Steel works, costing an aggregate of over $5,000, 000; 
besides this, all the great smelters are adding to their 
present plants at a total expense of over $2,000,000. 

Denver Street-Car Traffic . 

During the year 1891 the street-car traffic of Denver was 
doubled over that of any preceding year. The Denver 
Tramway Company alone carried on all their lines 17,000,000 
passengers. This enormous increase was due largely to the 
fast-growing suburban population. There has been and 
continues to be a well defined migration to the outside resi- 
dence sections, which has been so marvelously facilitated by 
the increased street-car facilities. Owl cars on many of the 
lines at the present time are highly appreciated by the 
suburban residents, and there is now a universal appeal from 
the public that the owl car should be a feature of all the 
lines.

The Hotels of Denver. 

Considering the population of Denver, which at the pres- 
ent writing is not less than 160,000 inhabitants, no city in 
the world compares with it in hotel capacity. There are at 
least a dozen first-class hostelries, counting the H. C. Brown 
Palace Hotel, which is the finest hotel in the world and will 
be thrown open for the reception of guests about midsum- 
mer. In addition to these there are seventy-five second- 
class, private and family hotels, and over two hundred 
boarding houses, and equally as many more lodging houses 
which are constructed as transient establishments, and the 
major portion of them are in close proximity to restaurants. 
No city in the vporld is so capable of providing for any large

or extraordinary influx of visitors, for it is,^certaiu that all 
can be acconiniodated with comfort and at prices coinnien- 
surate with the acconiniodatious. The thirteen leading 
hotels in Denver can comfortably care for 7,000 extra people 
per day, or an average of 600 guests each. By this is meant 
to include everything that the guest requires — bed, room, 
etc., and in addition to this a number of them can furnish 
meals to several thousand more who maj' have their sleep- 
ing apartments elsewhere. In brief, Denver can accommo- 
date 50,000 strangers with comfort and ease upon an hour's 
notice. The prices are no higher in Denver than in any 
other cosmopolitan city, and it can be very truthfully said 
that the accommodations in ever}' respect are far superior 
to many of the larger cities of the United States. 



City and County Finances. 

During the year 1891 the cit3'-'s revenue from all sources 
amounted to $1,029,348.80 which was an increase over 
1890. The revenue from taxation for the year 1891 
amounted to $646,598.80. The assessed valuation of the city 
was $73,132,430 for 1891, which is an increase of $6,508,870 
over 1890. The disbursements of the year 1891 amounted to 
$1,010,256 as compared with $[,163,455 for 1890. The appro- 
priations for 1891 amounted to $1,038, 2*^0. For the year 1892 
the revenue is estimated at $1,250,000, which will be entirely 
used in the appropriations. 

The assessed valuation of the County of Arapahoe is 
$92,887,000. The total levy for 1891 was 10.5 mills. The ap- 
propriations for 1892 for courts, coroner, elections, court 
house, jail, county officers, building and improvement fund, 
miscellaneous, etc., $520,167.42.

wmeh is 10,000 tons in excess of 1890. The home mills 
treated 12, .^30 tons of the ore. 

The gross output of the Ouray district mines for 1S91 
amounted to $5,832,280. 

'" ulder County mines fell short on output for 1891, but 
-"''-ly reached the $600,000 notch. 

Cripple Creek and Creede are new camps, and both are 
striving to outglorify maternal I^eadville. The excitement 
there during 1892 will be very great. It is true that both 
camps are rich beyond estimate, but the output cannot be 
even guessed at. 



The Bee Interests of the State. 

The following letter from Col. H. Knight, of Littleton, 
secretary of the Colorado State Bee Keepers' Association 
will explain quite fulh' the extent of the bee industry in 
this state. 

lyiTTLKTON, Colo., March 20, 1892. 

There are in the State about 3,000 bee keepers; about 200 
making a specialty of bee keeping. Among the most prom- 
inent are N. C. Alford and R. C. Aiken of Fort Collins; W. 
I.. Porter and Chas. Adams of Greeley; H. Porter, Thos. Cris- 
man and J, L,. Paten of Arvada; Mrs. M. M. White, Broom- 
field; Mrs. L. Booth, H. L. and Frank Ranchfutt, J. t,. 
Oakes. Denver; Theo. Lohf, Brighton, J. B. Adams, D. L. 
Tracy and e;. B. Porter, Longmont; Mrs. Hartman and L. 
Brock, Littleton; H. R. Antes and J. P. Templin, Florence; 
Wm. Wilier, Montrose; Mrs. Hodgdon, Delta; S. W. Pingrey, 
Durango. Nearly ever}' county has bees, but Boulder, 
Larimer, Weld, Jefferson, Arapahoe, Delta, Mesa, Mont- 
rose and Pueblo counties have the most. There are about 
10,000 colonies of bees in the state; which gives an average 
:)f fifty pounds of honey per colony, or one-half million 
pounds marketable honey. 

The future outlook for bee culture could not be better. Al- 
falfa produces the best honey known. A. I. Root, the noted 
beekeeper and editor of " Gleanings in Bee Culture," says 
ihat "Alfalfa honey is better than white clover honey. In 
Fact, it is the best honey I ever tasted." 

Any more information on this subject will be cheerfully 
£;iven. Respectfully, 

H. KNIGHT.

DENVER'S SISTER CITIES. 

During the year 1891 the smaller cities which cluster 
around Denver have had a strong and substantial grow^th. 
Hundreds of fine public and private buildings have been 
added, and many flourishing manufacturing industries have 
been added to the prosperity of several communities. 
Brooklyn, Colfax, Fletcher and Globeville were incorpo- 
rated during 1891, and now enjoy municipal government. 
The total increase of population has been about twenty per 
cent. 

Hig'li lands. 

Highlands has now S,ooo inhabitants, and 100 new resi- 
dences were built during the year. Among the new public 
buildings erected were the Cheltenham School, $28,000; new 
Catholic school, $50,000. 

Stnitli Denver. 

South Denver is certainly a booming suburb. During 1891 
over 250 buildings, valued at $650,000, were contracted for 
and partly built. The taxable values of the town amount to 
$3,600,000. The two great manufacturing plants of the Den- 
ver Paper Mills and the Overland Cotton Mills commenced 
operations in 1891. The vSouth Broadway Church was built 
at a cost of $60,000; University Hall, $80,000; Chamberlin 
Obsfervatorj', $50,000. One hundred thousand dollars was 
spent in improving the water system, making forty-three 
miles of water mains and seventy-two hydrants. Sixty 
thousand dollars is being expended for the erection of a City 
Hall. Population, 5,000. 

Argo. 

Argo is a busy, happy and prosperous town, with good 
wages and increased population. The smelters employ 400 
men out of the 1,200 inhabitants. Among the public im- 
provements during the year were a $20,000 school house and 
a fire hose house costing I3.500. Twenty-five new resi- 
dences were added during the year, increased water mains, 
and many new streets opened. The Swedish Lutheran 
Church, costing $4,000, was built and a new pottery works 
opened. 



Moiitclair. 

Montclair now has 300 inhabitauts. New improvements 
consist of a $13,000 school house, 125 new electric lights, 
?3,ooo spent in street grading, and the water systetn has 
)een largely extended. Seventy-five thousand dollars was 
^pent in three private dwellings alone, and many of like 
pretensions are now in course of construction. 



Globeville. 

Globeville has doubled its population within a year, and 
ts school accommodations trebled. City water will soon be 
ised, and rapid tran.sit is assured. Population now 2,100, and 
ivhen smelter improvements are completed 600 additional 
idult population will be added. 



Harm a II. 

Harmau made things hum last year under its own gov- 
irnment. A new Citj^ Hall, $4.oco; school, $4,000; grading 
Pi, 500, and a contract let for a water .supply with twenty-oue 
Tydrants, are among meutionable features. The new 
|:hristian Church cost $4,000 to build. With 1,000 popula- 
tion, and connected with Denver by electric railway, this 
[teautiful little village is strictly in it with metropolitan airs. 



Elyria. 

Elyria enjoyed a prosperous year during 1891. The Colo- 
•ado Packing Compauy built their plant, and over fiftj^ pri- 
vate residences and fifteen bu.siness houses were erected 
luring the year. All told, buildings to the extent of $270,000 
vere completed. Every street has water, and sixty hy- 
Irants are in place for fire emergencies. A new City Hall is 
low under way and will be completed before rapid transit 
ieaches the town. Population now 2, 00. 

Colfax. 

Colfax is in the line of fast development and great im- 
rovement during 1891. The Denver, Lakewood & Golden 
•ailway boomed the place. Twenty thousand feet of new

The Spanish vowels have no variation in sound as in the 
ajEnglish language, and are pronounced as follows: 

a-ah — as a in the English word "father." 
j e-ay — as e in the English word " heir." 
i-ee — as i in the English word " Idiot." 
o-oh — as o in the English word " Go." 
u-00 — as u in the English word " full." 

In Spanish words of more than one syllable a stress of the 
oice is laid on one of the syllables, hence it is more 

119 



distinctly and forcibly pronounced than the other vowels] 
of same word; it does not, however, change the sound of the' 
vowel on which stress is laid, merely lengthens it. I

Photograpliiug The Mountains. 

' Of the many thousands of visitors to Colorado in search 
of healthy pleasure or recreation, not one fails to yield to 
one or more of the countless charms of her grand old 

Imountains. Whether the visitor's stay be brief or long an 
introduction to the wonders and beauties ot the Rocky 

Mountains is one of the things mostly desired after the first 

jgrand view of the panorama as seen from the plains. 

I Following close upon the introduction comes a friendship, 
whose warmth and depth is only measured by the length of 
the acquaintance, for the longer the period and the closer 
the association, the more endeared do the great hills, the 
wondrous canons and the lovely parks and glens become 
to all who seek to know them.

It is but natural then that the stranger within her gates, 
as well as the resident of years, should desire faithful like- 
nesses, photographs of these friends of nature who give 
such charms and inspire such friendships, even as they 
desire the portraits of the dear friends within and without 
the family circle. This demand has brought forth photo- 
graphs beyond calculation. 

Colorado and her mountains have had many photogra- 
phers. Her innumerable scenes of beauty and grandeur 
have been targets for many a camera with a professional 
back of it and numberless Kodaks in the hands of amateurs. 
She has room and views enough for all. Her field in this 
respect is practically limitless, and while her doors are open 
to all still she has in one of her own sons an artist worthy 
of whatever she may place before him. Mr. W. H. Jackson, 
as a scenic photographer, has attained a world-wide repu- 
tation, and his Colorado views have many times won the 
golden medals in prominent expositions. His fifteen years' 
work has placed in his establishment a wonderful collection 
of Rocky Mountain pictures, the negatives of which are the 
working basis of one of the largest photographing estab- 
lishments in the country, namely: The W. H. Jackson 
Photograph and Publishing Company of this city. With 
such an establishment, presided over by such an indefati- 
gable worker and so excellent an artist, no one need want 
for faithful, beautiful and artistic pictures of any and all 
their friends in nature throughout the Rocky Mountains. 

A Phenomiiial Publication. 

One of the most phenominal papers published in Denver 
is The Road. It was started six years ago as a traveling 
man's paper, but as time went by it outgrew its field and 
drifted into independent politics, and as an organ of that 
character has become known far and near as a fearless, red 
hot, truth telling journal. From the time of its inception 
to the present time it has been fighting the battle of the 
"underdog" and still throws up its hat for justice, honor 
and decency. Ivibel suits to the amount of $200,000 have 
been fought by the publishers of The Road since the paper 
was started, and in no instance has a judgment been 
rendered against them ; this fact of itself tells a story of 
persecution and prosecution by an organized gang of pol- 
iticians to get The Road out of the way that speaks louder

than words. Few papers could have fought their way to 
the front rank in journalism, which The Road now occu- 
pies, under such drawbacks, but under the fearless editorial 
management of Mr. Herbert George, and the able business 
management of Mr. Orlando Kling; the paper continues to 
grow and prosper. Its circulation is said to exceed the 
combined circulation of the three best weeklies published 
in this State, while the grand fight it is now making for 
silver brings them an hundred new names every day. The 
Road is a permanent fixture and one Denver may well feel 
proud of.
